2007–04] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

International Securities Exchange, 

LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate 

Effectiveness of Proposed Rule 

Change Relating to Network Fee 

Changes 

February 13, 2007. 

Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on January 

17, 2007, the International Securities 

Exchange, LLC (‘‘ISE’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) 

filed with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the 

proposed rule change as described in 

Items I, II, and III below, which Items 

have been substantially prepared by the 

ISE. The ISE has designated this 

proposal as one establishing or changing 

a due, fee, or other charge applicable 

only to a member under section 

19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act,3 and rule 19b–

4(f)(2) thereunder,4 which renders the 

proposal effective upon filing with the 

Commission. The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The ISE is proposing to amend its 

Schedule of Fees to adopt a tiered 

structure for one of the Exchange’s 

network fees. The text of the proposed 

rule change is available at the Exchange, 

the Commission’s Public Reference 

Room, and at http:// 

www.iseoptions.com. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

ISE included statements concerning the 

purpose of, and basis for, the proposed 

rule change and discussed any 

comments it received on the proposed 

rule change. The text of these statements 

may be examined at the places specified 

in item IV below. The ISE has prepared 

summaries, set forth in sections A, B, 

and C below, of the most significant 

aspects of such statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The purpose of this proposed rule 

change is to amend the Exchange’s 

Schedule of Fees to adopt a tiered 

structure for the Ethernet/Managed 

Service Provider fee charged to 

members. 

The Ethernet/Managed Service 

Provider fee is a fee charged to ISE 

members to access the ISE’s trading 

system via an Ethernet connection or a 

third-party managed service provider. 

The Ethernet/Managed Service Provider 

connection carries the same information 

(such as quotation and trade 

information) as other forms of 

connection (such as T–1 and T–3 pointto-point connections) and does not 

require any changes to the Exchange’s 

surveillance or communications rules. 

There is no change to, or impact on, the 

Exchange’s trading systems as a result of 

this method of connection. 

An Ethernet/Managed Service 

Provider connection enables users to 

acquire bandwidth in megabit 

increments. The ISE currently charges 

members $25.00 per Megabit (MB), and 

members may purchase up to 15MBs. 

The Exchange recently launched a new 

service whereby members will now be 

able to purchase up to 1000MBs. To 

bring this network fee in line with the 

new service, the ISE proposes to 

establish a new pricing structure for 

connection speeds. Specifically, the ISE 

proposes to charge members $100.00 per 

month for a member’s purchase of up to 

10MBs of connection speed, $250.00 per 

month for the purchase of 11 to 100MBs 

of connection speed, and $500.00 per 

month for the purchase of 101MBs to 

1GB (1000MBs) of connection speed. 

These fees will be charged on a per 

connection basis. As noted above, the 

Exchange previously limited any 

connection to a maximum of 15MBs. 

The Exchange notes that the fees 

proposed herein are intended to cover 

and reasonably relate to its costs in 

rolling out and supporting the new 

service. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The basis under the Act for this 

proposed rule change is the requirement 

under section 6(b)(4) 5 that an exchange 

have an equitable allocation of 

reasonable dues, fees and other charges 

among its members and other persons 

using its facilities. In particular, these 

fees will enable the Exchange to cover

proposed new language, and clarifies its description 

of the proposed discount.

connectivity by members to the

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The proposed rule change does not 

impose any burden on competition that 

is not necessary or appropriate in 

furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants or Others 

The Exchange has not solicited, and 

does not intend to solicit, comments on 

this proposed rule change. The 

Exchange has not received any 

unsolicited written comments from 

members or other interested parties. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 6 and paragraph (f) of Rule 

19b–4 7 thereunder. At any time within 

60 days of the filing of such proposed 

rule change, the Commission may
